U.S. officials believe a top Russian general knew ahead of time that the founder of the Wagner Group mercenary army planned to march on Moscow in a bid to oust the country’s military leadership.
Determining whether Gen. Sergei Surovikin helped orchestrate Yevgeny Prigozhin’s aborted mission last weekend could answer questions about his support within Russia’s military establishment.
Gen. Surovkin became commander of all Russian forces invading Ukraine in October but was replaced and demoted three months later by Gen. Valery Gerasimov, chief of Russia’s general staff. The Kremlin said it paid the Concord Group — the parent company of the Wagner Group leader’s catering company — more than $900 million from May 2022 to last May to provide food to the Russian military. Mr. Putin said the government is investigating whether the company stole any money.
